You try to make a 2x2 inch patch of flexible AM, about the same thickness and durability as your cloak. It uh, didn’t quite turn out as you imagined. It’s certainly flexible and durable, but it doesn’t fold like cloth does. Seems to do with the finer structure, with your square being solid and your robe being composed of hundreds of woven threads.

"Any of those intact ones successes, or are they still awaiting judgement?"

Kark: ”They’ve been tested already, and seem to hold up perfectly. These’ll be the ones you and Vandolf’ll be using. They’ve already outfitted with padding, and the locking latches are located on the inside so you can get out whenever you want.”

Guard: ”That Emiel guy? Umm, maybe. He’s supposed to be imprisoned indefinitely or something, but he’s not exactly dangerous to the public, outside of failed experiments. Maybe Teleiat could see it as some sort of community service or something, couldn’t hurt to ask.”

"Madenuuk you say? Now that's a coincidence, on the way 'ere found some humans who'd stolen his staff, was goin' t' go an return it t' him.

Shan't keep you any longer, Take care."

You and Miimas leave the obdach and head south-west, with the spirits in the staff talking amongst themselves in excitement. The house is easy to find - it seems to technically be just outside of town, past the canal that forms the town’s border, sitting on a large, gently sloping hill.



This… Is a shaman’s house? Most human houses don’t even look like this. The spirits cheer about being home, telling you ‘good job’ and ‘chicken for dinner’ and such. Well, you might as well knock, and you do. Three sharp hits, and the door opens a few seconds later.

A hunched-over figure stands in front of you, dressed in a baggy outfit that resembles an oversized black dress with white frills, the shaman’s face obscured with a black viel. When it speaks, its voice crackles with age with very little tone, making it difficult to discern if the shaman is male or female, or even if it’s an actual lupus.

Madenuuk: ”Ooh? You have brought my children back to me! Thank you, young shaman.”

You feel your hand move forward, handing the staff to the shaman.

Madenuuk: ”My children say you are a good, helpful lupus. Come, come in, I will treat you and your friend to dinner.”

The figure shuffles into the darkness of the house, only a few shades lighter than the night sky.

Miimas: ”I’m right behind you.”

"Hm... intriguing. I should be leaving soon, but where do you think I could learn more about this?"

The ferret gives something resembling a shrug.

Gazebo: ”A library? Someone who’s been around for a while? I wouldn’t know where the humans or chirop or lupus would keep ancient knowledge.”

You bid Gazebo farewell and head back to Vranhal, the sun now gone and the moon in its place. Once you reach the city, you walk around, trying to locate the mail center.

It’s a strange facility, one that you passed by at first because you didn’t know what it was. There’s the main office building, a large two-story building with the occasional courrier running in and out, and connected to the building is a 10 foot stone wall that encloses a large space behind the building. Loud whipping and banging sounds can be heard in the area, and using a gate to pass through the wall, you find yourself standing in a walled-off field with four large war machines evenly spaced from each other.

These aren’t regular ballistae, more resembling of some high-precision measuring instrument with the cranks and curved metal angle measures, complicated acceleration controllers on the projectile flight deck, and each one with a person standing by with a clipboard and pen.

John, Byrnolf, and Kark are standing by one of the machines, several large rectangular “crates” constructed of some sort of sheet metal with a clear window on the top side. Only two of the crates have intact windows, the others are either shattered or cracked in some way.

Kebb, you need to run, unless you have some kind of trick up your sleeve like redirecting those fireballs being sent your way. Don't forget you have 3 AP to use, you aren't restricted to one action at a time.

"I'm ready, Kark. Think you could send me to the watch tower just past Magusalto? ... And I think I'd like one of the non-windowed crates, myself."

> Charge the mage stone with all my mana. Enter the crate to be launched.

>Make an effort (2 AP) to put some distance between myself and my attackers. Capture and redirect a fireball directly into the armored one, empowering it with my remaining mana.

what an awful time to forget about multiple actions
really, shoutout to MLC for reminding me about how to actually survive the RTD

Vandolf: "I'm ready, Kark. Think you could send me to the watch tower just past Magusalto? ... And I think I'd like one of the non-windowed crates, myself."

Kark: ”You got it.”

"Oh jeez, they're ready already. Well, no use in putting this off."

One of the windowed crates is opened up and you set yourself in, locking the latches after the lid is placed on. It feels almost like a coffin would, padding on every surface except the window. The crate is lifted up with you inside, and you can feel being place in a way where your head is lower than the rest of your body, the night sky in your view.

Kark: ”Brace yourself! Firing in five! Four! Three! Two!”

You clench your teeth and brace for impact,

Kark: ”One!”

…

Oh, it’s after o-

Kark: ”Fire!”

An immense force strikes the crate, violently jarring your body with kinetic forces as you’re propelled through the air at express speeds, taking a few seconds for you to recover from the launch. Roughly half a minute later, you feel a slight sensation of weightlessness, and that’s your que to prepare yourself.

The crate starts to fall, and with the window still facing up towards the sky, you count several seconds in free-fall before popping the latches and pushing yourself out of the metal death trap.

A large, vertical structure lined with lights is in sight - the watch tower. You give yourself two impulse pushes to adjust your flight path to a nice open field close to the tower, and when it looks like you’re closing in on the ground, use all your mana in one large push to decelerate.

Wait ♥♥♥♥ that’s not nearly slow enough fffffffffffff








???: ”Hey, you awake?”

You sluggishly open your eyes, feeling oddly… Intact. A chirop in a red cloak is sitting next to you.

???: ”Did you really use the Ballista Express to get over here? What did it feel like flying for the first time?”

Deciding that the fight’s taking a turn for the worse, you Escape! Twice!

Despite your injuries, you’re able to leg it away from your pursuers who don’t seem to chase, or even throw attacks at you. You were moving pretty fast though, maybe they were just caught off guard.

After a good enough distance, you slow down and duck into an alleyway, hiding amongst some rubbage in an effort to conceal yourself.

???: ”Oi, this is my hiding place.”

Looking to your side, there’s a chirop a few feet away from you, dressed in ragged clothing.

???: ”Yeesh, what happened t’you? Patch yourself up or somethin’.”

The scrawny bat tosses you some bandages and you do just that.

You hear shouting outside, or on an upper floor?

???: ”INCOMING BALLISTA EXPREEEEEEEESSS!”

Three distinct impacts outside, the third a lot softer than the first two.

Guard: ”Looks like we got mail.”

You, Ki’stha, and the guard head outside to see what’s going on.

There’s a long, coffin-like metal box being opened by a chirop in a red mage who pulls out a lupus who looks like he’s shaped the wrong way, and another chirop tending to a man who’s lying face-down in the grass. Both the lupus and the man are laid on the grass on their backs, healing light glowing from the hands of the chirop, and you recognize the newcomers to be Vandolf and John.

Chirop Healer: ”Wake up, sleepy head. Your back isn’t broken anymore. Can’t believe you actually launched yourself out of a ballista to get over here.”

Chirop Healer 2: ”Hey, you awake? Did you really use the Ballista Express to get over here? What did it feel like flying for the first time?”

You follow Madenuuk into the house, taking a look around.



It’s lit only by a few magic lamps here and there, but you can make out paintings that line the walls. They seem to be of children, playing, sleeping, eating. You can make out a girl with short black hair and red eyes, Horoma, and one with white hair and blue eyes, Aucupe the ‘bird eater.’

In the kitchen, you see Madenuuk cooking up some herb-coated chicken, potatoes, and carrots.

Madenuuk: ”The children tell me you are looking for a way to extract spirits from a construct and move them to another one? It must have been fate that you ran into those bandits, I am devising a method to do the exact thing you are searching for.”

The shaman prepares three plates of food, leading you to the dinner table where you seat yourself alongside Miimas, Madenuuk across from you.

Madenuuk: ”I do not have a perfect method yet, but I have a couple functioning test bodies. Perhaps you would like to see a demonstration after dinner?”

You store all your mana into a mana stone.

Kark: ”You got it.”

John: "Oh jeez, they're ready already. Well, no use in putting this off."

You’re provided with a standard un-windowed crate, and you set yourself in, locking the latches after the lid is placed on. It feels almost like a coffin would, padding on every surface and dark, save for a few air holes here and there. The crate is lifted up with you inside, and you can feel being place in a way where your head is lower than the rest of your body.

"A ballista?" *sits up and rubs his forehead* "Yeah, I guess that really did just happen... Hey, did you heal me? Thanks for having my back! It being broken probably wouldn't have been good for my health. What's your name?"

> Shake hands with my healer.
